Jeremy Evans has been named the Company's Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer effective immediately.
"Having the right person in every role is critical for us to successfully execute our strategy," said Sean Bagan, President and Chief Executive Officer of Helios. "Jeremy has been on our team just shy of two years now and has consistently demonstrated the kind of proven leadership, cross-functional collaboration, and deep relationship-building that moves our organization forward. He has been a key contributor to our strategic planning process, while also providing steady interim leadership across critical financial functions—ensuring continuity, discipline, and strong alignment with our long-term value-creation goals."
Mr. Evans joined the Company on January 24, 2024, and since that time has driven process improvement, streamlined financial reporting, and navigated complex accounting topics, all while maintaining timely and accurate financial records and a robust internal control environment. He was promoted to Chief Accounting Officer September 1, 2025. Prior to joining Helios, Mr. Evans accumulated 25 years of progressive operational and financial management leadership experience with Tech Data, now TD SYNNEX Corporation (NYSE:SNX) serving as Vice President, Accounting Transformation immediately prior to joining Helios. He earned his Bachelor of Arts degree with a double major in Math and Spanish from Eckerd College, received a Master of Business Administration from the University of Sarasota, and received a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) license from the state of Florida.
"I'm truly honored to step into the role of Chief Financial Officer for Helios. I'm grateful for the trust placed in me and excited to continue serving our teams as we execute our strategy and build on the strong foundation we've created together. Helios is at an exciting inflection point, returning to year-over-year growth in the third quarter of this year. We have been working hard to build out our go-to-market strategy, improve our operational efficiencies, strengthen our working capital discipline, optimize our portfolio and carefully allocate our resources to maximize our return on investments. I look forward to continuing to collaborate with the Helios leadership team to drive our efforts across these and many other areas to create increasing shareholder returns over time," commented Mr. Evans.
